Projected Lineup: LA Kings vs Winnipeg Jets in Game 7

October 28, 2021 By MayorsManor Staff


After the road trip from hell, the Kings are looking forward to being at home and getting a win.  Winnipeg is already on their second trip to Southern California this season and picked up a huge win late in the game in Anaheim on Tuesday.  It will be a tough game for the Kings defense with the high-powered Jets offense.  

LA KINGS PROJECTED LINEUP vs. WINNIPEG on 10/28

Arvidsson – Kopitar – Brown
Iafallo – Danault – Kempe
Moore – Kupari – Kaliyev
Grundstrom – Lizotte – Vilardi

Other options: Tkachev, Lemieux

Björnfot – Anderson
Maatta – Roy
Edler – Strand

Other options: Clague

Quick (starter)
Petersen

Injured Reserve: Andersson, Athanasiou, Doughty, Walker

KINGS MILESTONES WITHIN REACH

Alex Edler – one goal away from career number 100

Phil Danault – needs 2 games to reach 400 NHL games played

Anze Kopitar – needs 61 points to pass Dave Taylor for third on the Kings all-time scoring list

On the Winnipeg side of things…

Captain Blake Wheeler is back after being in Covid-19 protocol and spending the last week in his parents basement in Minnesota.  Mark Scheifele is still out and on the Covid-19 protocol list and is unavailable to play.  

Puck drop is scheduled for 7:30 pm PST tonight and the game will be televised on Bally Sports Network.

    So I guess we’re gonna keep doing this with our prospects. We have young talent coming up and instead of showing patients we bring them up and start yanking them in and out of the lineup. Let the takes play. If they showed you in spring training that they had the ability the organization needs to show some patience. The tykes will figure it out or they won’t. But for the love of god give them a run of games to show they belong. These young guys have far more upside than a Lizotte or Grundstrom.
    We have done this same nonsense with our prospects for decades. Give them 20 games, not just one or two.
    Lizotte & Grundstrom are not going to get us to the next level. The tykes are going to have to. Stop impeding their progress with the back and forth silliness.

    What’s going on with Lias Andersson? I thought I had read a while ago that he was being activated, now I see he is still IR? Could sure use him… He and Vilardi had great chemistry… without him, I haven’t seen much from Gabe!

      Andersson just returned to the ice. Has been practicing with the team this week. Should be cleared for action soon.

    I truly believe that Blake is a good old school hockey man. I fear that his time is long past though. It is obvious that the Kings are building a roster based on old school concepts such as valuing veteran presence and experience over analytics.

    As we have seen from MLB and the NBA this path is disaster. For example we are now paying Matta like a 2nd pair dman but utilizing him as a depth guy.

    We either need to build an analytics department under Blake or replace him with an analytically minded GM
